Taste and usageRock Chives® is the Koppert Cress brand name for an edible plant. Rock Chives is characterised by the little black dot at the top. This is the seed pod. The pod gives the product a bit of a playful character. Rock Chives has a delightful garlic taste which works well in herb butter, oil, or tzatziki. It also tastes good in vegetable dishes and with fish or meat. An interesting detail is that the seed pod gets crispy when it is heated.

Origin Rock Chives is a chives type from the mountain regions of East Asia. Especially in China it is used in various dishes for its fine taste.
